Become a CakePHP certified engineer

With growing popularity of CakePHP, you can benefit from becoming a CakePHP certified engineer. CakePHP certified engineers will be listed below and will be able to use the CakePHP trademark when promoting their services. The fee for certification is $150.
Becoming a CakePHP certified engineer is easy.
1. Build an application in CakePHP
2. Refactor your code
3. Tell us why you want to be a certified and what you did to get your application going
4. Zip or Tar your application
5. Submit your application to certification at cakefoundation dot org
We will review the application, and either certify you as a developer or ask you to refactor some more. You will have the opportunity to submit the same application 3 times.
We look for:
1. strict following of the CakePHP coding standards
2. maximum re-use of code
3. clean use of associations
4. clean controllers
5. minimized logic in views

If you are fast, you can become the first CakePHP certified engineer ;-)

So, is there anything wrong with trying to help out the community, whille generating some income to continue developing the project? Are you using CakePHP to build websites that you make money from? You could always donate instead of trying to become certified.

Certification is good. The API is stable and thus the reason why certification is offered now instead of 6 months ago when beta came out.
